The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 448: Shuffle the cards

Now that I know that the energy of the Ming Dynasty is involved, there is no way to deal with myself. After going to the biggest mountain on his head, Zhong Yu will naturally let go of his hands and feet to do a big job.

Because the other party had the nuclear deterrence of an eighth-level master, Zhong Yu was shy to do anything, and did not dare to move too much, so as not to induce a sense of crisis in the Ming Dynasty, so he directly sent a master to suppress him.

But now the eighth-level masters of the Ming Dynasty have been attracted by the masters of the same level in the Dajin Dynasty, and they can't make any moves.

Furthermore, Daming has also reached the crisis of annihilation. All energy is devoted to defending the capital and defending northern Xinjiang, and can no longer take care of the defense of other provinces.

After all, regardless of whether it is the eastern, southern or western provinces, losing one or two will not endanger the survival of the Ming Dynasty. But if Liaodong Province, north of the capital, wanted the enemy to drive down and encircle the imperial capital, then the Ming Dynasty would really come to an end.

The lighter and heavier among them, even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is faint, he can still think clearly.

In today's world, a city that can be called an imperial capital is not that simple.

It must meet several important conditions.

With a population of more than tens of millions, it is strong enough to defend against a Tier 8 guarding circle, enough ground dragon energy, and able to control the terrain of countless surrounding areas.

These conditions are the basics of an imperial capital, and are the conditions for a dynasty to guard the whole country.

Basically, an imperial capital occupies one-tenth of the essence of the country. It is an inseparable and important territory of a country. The key points are naturally self-evident.

If the Ming Dynasty really lost the imperial capital, then it means that he lost the orthodoxy, and all the northern provinces will be lost. Even the provinces in the east and west don’t know if they can be preserved. In the end, it’s not bad to be able to shrink in the south. NS.

As for rebuilding an imperial capital, don't even think about it without him with a population of hundreds of millions. The tens of millions of people in the southern area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, which has been broken, still have this ability.

So for Zhong Yu, the threat of the Ming Dynasty has completely left, and it will not be possible again for at least 34 years.

For him, what he needs to think about now is how to swallow more territory while the Ming Dynasty is weak.

And during this period of time to develop and strengthen your own power, the most important thing is to cultivate your own strong people above Tier 6, so that you can gain a firm foothold in this world.

When the Dajin Empire broke through the Ming Dynasty's defense line, and its troops were directed at the imperial capital, two months had passed since Zhong Yu captured the four eastern provinces.

In the past two months, Zhong Yu started a large-scale recruitment, and rectified the local bureaucracy, expelled all those corrupt officials who did not trust him or had a bad reputation, and then replaced them. The trustworthy direct line officials that he had cultivated came to power.

Although many officials rebelled in the process, which caused Zhong Yu some minor troubles, after suppressing all these troubles and replacing them with officials he trusted, Zhong Yu’s rule was thoroughly sorted out. Once again, the control becomes deeper.

The remediation of officials has been very good, and with the change of officialdom, the people in these four provinces all praised them, and they thought that Zhong Yu’s forces were a good government that really cared about the people.

However, when it comes to joining the army, the progress is extremely poor.

The specific reason is that although the people have recognized Zhong Yu's rule, they don't think that Zhong Yu's power can really take a firm footing here and go on for a long time.

What is the meaning of an empire, and what powerful power it represents in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a plain-headed common people, it is clearly known.

The force that destroys the world, moves mountains and fills the sea, and suppresses everything is not something that Zhong Yu's army can resist. It belongs to immortals and gods and transcends the existence of mortals.

Especially the powerful families and local sects across the country have a clear view of this point, so they are also the most cold-eyed, maybe they don't know how to laugh at Zhong Yu in secret.

However, with the victory of the Great Jin Empire in the Northern Xinjiang War, the Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy, the country was in danger, and everything changed.

From the perspective of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the eastern part is more than 3,000 miles of boundless mountain forests occupied by the Huangshan Demon King. It is the most natural and reliable absolute defense, and it is impossible for other countries to invade. Five of the seven inland provinces in the Ming Dynasty were eastern provinces, which shows the importance and safety of the eastern part.

This is why Zhong Yu has just occupied the four eastern provinces, and the imperial army can't wait to send troops to counter the rebellion. Even at the risk of unstable rule across the country, he has to grit his teeth and pull out 200,000 troops to suppress.

This is because the eastern provinces are the imperial court’s heavyweights of money and food. Without the huge army maintained by the eastern imperial courts on the borders, they could collapse at any time.

As for the provinces in the other three directions of the Ming Dynasty, they all border other countries and are threatened at any time~IndoMTL.com~the war has been continuous all the year round, and they cannot develop steadily.

Now the Ming Dynasty has been implicated in military power, and the remaining defenders are extremely weak, and can't stop the attack of Zhong Yu's army, let alone counterattack.

This situation means that the country that Zhong Yu is currently establishing is not a short-lived dynasty, and it is very likely to last for decades, and it is not impossible to even directly replace Daming.

With these conditions, the families from all over the world, the local schools, and the people who are fearful and fearful underneath, who are waiting and watching, become completely active.

Instead of the cold-eyed in the past, everyone actively joined Zhong Yu's forces, making the recruiting station under his command full of personnel.

After March, the war in the north of the Ming Dynasty became more and more tragic, and more manpower and material resources were mobilized to the northern battlefield to form more troops to resist and counterattack the offensive of the Jin Dynasty.

As for Zhong Yu's four provinces, the new army's training has finally come to an end.

The rise of each new power represents a reshuffle of the local power.

Zhong Yu's new empire into the four eastern provinces is the same.

Countless large families, big landlords, and martial sects representing the foundational forces of the imperial court have fallen and are facing the fate of being purged.

There are also countless family sects that have maintained their neutrality and even took advantage of the trend to follow suit.

The result of this is that Zhong Yu has recruited a total of 300,000 new troops in the four provinces this time, all of whom have the strength of Tier 3 or above.

Together with the remaining army before Zhong Yu, his army number has exceeded 740,000.

These troops removed the 80,000 left-behind regiments, and finally they were able to use 420,000 mobile troops as his support and capital for the next siege of the city.

A new round of expansion is about to begin.
